If you don't have luck with that, follow the steps in this tutorial to update your drivers, visit windows update and see if there are hardware updates offered for your system, and if none of that works consider the possibility that you have malware installed on your system and go here to install and run an updated scan of your computer to detect and remove possible infections that your AV has not detected.

Laptop hi, i have a satellite M3OX and it has totally frozen, the touchpad wont move at all. ive been on a forum and lots of people have told me to do lots of things but they all involve pressing keys but nothing is working at all. When i press start the options come up but once the little egg timer stops it just freezes. I have tried a plug in mouse but that wont work either, please can anyone help, thanks x

I am trying to burn a DVD that is 1 hour and 49 minutes long and it will not burn correctly. On a DVD-RW it only recorded just a small amount at the beginning and also had music in the background. I tried a DVD-R and it would not work at all. It also seems that the video file is larger than what the DVD can hold but I am using 4.7GB (2hours).
